Ordered full bushing set from classic swede minus pan hard (new adjustable pan hard to go on with poly bushes from classic swede already) and minus body moments for the ARBs (my ARBs are v rusty and I may replace)

Looking for are to jacking up the Volvo onto blocks this bh weekend and starting to strip things down front and back

Lowered and all bushes replaced

Might be here sobbing by the end of it not able to either get stuff apart or back together

Any advice ahead of time would be much appreciated (or any special tools)
